Is a marriage in Bhutan legal in the US?

Hello friend. My name is XXXXX XXXXX welcome to JustAnswer. Please note: (1) this is general information only, not legal advice, and, (2) there may be a slight delay between your follow ups and my replies.

Unless either party was coerced, tricked, or forced into the marriage, then the marriage valid, yes.

A US jurisdiction will normally recognize a marriage from another country provided that it was entered into willingly and shows 'comity' (i.e. fairness and does not shock the court). Hilton v. Guyot, 159 U.S. 113, 163-64 (1895).

Ergo, the marriage is seen as valid unless one of the items above is true.
